Wasn't Elon only supposed to be there for 120 days and then return to his business as usual? I think these people who hate him are big mad that he ended up not being the shadow president they claimed to hate and not want.

His next election won't be until 2028 so his position is pretty secure. People like him really do make me wonder what the Republican Party will be when Trump is no longer in office. Will his policies leave a big impact on the party platform or will establishment Republicans try to reset things back to how they used to be once they no longer pretend to support Trump's ideas for pragmatic purposes?

Yes, they will reset them so it's important to get involved in local and state politics to make sure each Republican Party is clean instead of full of Rinos. There's still much work to be done.

Correct. This is a classic example of "these dumb motherfuckers don't pay any attention to anything important," as they completely missed, ignored and/or failed to report/remind people of this fact as they screamed about his antics.

There was never any possibility whatsoever of Musk becoming a "shadow president" or otherwise seizing control of the executive branch. He was restricted -- by law -- to serving for only 120 days as a "temporary employee" of the Federal government. That's it. His last scheduled workday was known (and publicized) from the very beginning. Our faggot lügenpresse simply never reminded people of it and it was too inconvenient a factoid for shrieking liberals to remember.

Nah, it's more that they have a financial incentive to keep things very close, but still maintain the Uniparty lead status quo. Trump is many things, and disruptive is definitely one of them. Disruptions are dangerous if you're aiming to quietly skim off the top for the rest of your career.

As long as these people are financially incentivized, heavily so, to enable the managed decline of the United States, and a globalist longhouse "yes it sucks for the US but it's great for China/Europe/India/Canada/Mexico/etc" mentality over a "fuck you got ours and taking yours" US-first mentality, the problem won't ultimately be solved.

But I don't know how you disincentivize the one and incentivize the other.

This is why they hate the Big Beautiful bill:

They're mad that SALT is raising their taxes to force them to justify their already high tax burdens that solely exist to pay for the existence of people who don't even work and illegals. The bill adds work requirements to Medicaid, but apparently forcing people to contribute to get a service is too much for them. They seem to think you can just spend money, and not pay for stuff.

Well then, it sounds like there's an opportunity here for an easy win for those blue states. For once, it's trivial and obvious: stop giving handouts to illegals. Think they'll pick the easy option?

I considered this as a possibility but it wouldn't be as curt or amusing in a post. You can still justify what I said with the true reason in mind if you reframe it with some cynical additions. Them losing means money, and if they're addicted to the money they're addicted to losing. If they win, no money, and so they hate winning!

They're a bunch of very greedy people who need to be mocked on a larger scale for this nonsense.

Trump's been playing the long game with Japan, I think. if I remember right they were rumored to be one of the countries that was going to be first in negotiations with the trade deals. I know the Shinzo and Trump memes are great and all, but I think Trump legitimately wants to establish a solid, long-term relationship with glorious Nippon. Having Baron study there and partnering with their steel industry seems proof of that. Also it likely helps that both countries are aligned against China.

Japan is flooded with Chinese, Muslim, and Indian immigrates. Japan is absolutely not aligned against China

Look. You're not a terrible poster. You're not even a bad poster. But right now, I'm going to block you just because you insist on spelling DOGE as DODGE. Nothing personal, I've blocked better posters silently over shitty animated avatars. But I just want you to know, whatever message you want to put out there, will be similarly blocked by people who can't stand your gimmick, and they won't all tell you.

I believe S&S uses voice to text for medical reasons (@Sweeter and Savoury forgive me for speaking for you, but this bugged me.)

Sadly the current Princess of Japan is 30 and isn't that much of a looker.

People repeat this a lot and I don't think they've ever actually been to Japan, or outside of the big cities. Go 30 minutes outside of Tokyo and you can count on one hand the number of gaijin you'll see. Not saying the situation won't turn worse, but the state of immigration in the US or any other major Western country to that of Japan is incomparable. Not to mention their immigration laws, despite what you may have heard, are actually pretty strict if you want to STAY in Japan for longer than six months. Just ask the trannies who tried to emigrate there when Trump won.

Furthermore on the China issue, Japan has recently begun remilitarizing (slowly) specifically because they don't believe the US can protect them against China any longer. They've been ramping up their navy and trying to get JSDF recruitment up. There's an Economist article about it that I'd dig up somewhere, but I'm phoneposting and it's paywalled. This was during Biden's term, of course. Anecdotally all the Japanese people I've talked to HATE the Chinese tourists and immigrants because many of them either suck at Japanese or don't bother to even learn it. Sound familiar?

So yes, I do think Japan and the US would see eye to eye on the China question. I think Japan is heading in a direction that could turn it into another shithole like most of Europoorstan, but it's a ways off yet.

Per the 1992 census the U.S was 88.7% non Hispanic white, as of 2025 the U.S is 57.2% non Hispanic white.

That's fucking crazy. The only countries that have had more drastic Demographic shifts than the U.S are Canada and Ireland.

I like Trump but it's basically Joever in terms of demographics in the U.S, you can't reverse that shit.
